Estimation Study to Assess the Effect of Severe Renal Impairment and End-stage Renal Disease Hemodialysis on the Pharmacokinetics of Evolocumab

November 3, 2022 updated by: Amgen

Phase 1, Open-label, Single-dose Study of Evolocumab (AMG 145) Administered Subcutaneously to Subjects With Normal Renal Function or Severe Renal Impairment or End Stage Renal Disease Receiving Hemodialysis

The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of evolocumab after a single 140 mg subcutaneous (SC) dose in aduts with normal renal function or severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease (ESRD) receiving hemodialysis.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Cmax) of Evolocumab
Time Frame: Predose and 4 hours, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 15, 22, 29, 43, 50 and 57 days postdose
Serum concentrations of evolocumab were measured by a validated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) of the assay was 800 ng/mL.
Predose and 4 hours, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 15, 22, 29, 43, 50 and 57 days postdose
Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to Time of Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC0-last) for Evolocumab
Time Frame: Predose and 4 hours, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 15, 22, 29, 43, 50 and 57 days postdose
Predose and 4 hours, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 15, 22, 29, 43, 50 and 57 days postdose

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Adverse Events
Time Frame: From the first dose of study drug up until Day 57

The severity of each adverse event was graded using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4. A serious adverse event is defined as an adverse event that meets at least 1 of the following serious criteria:

  • fatal;
  • life threatening (places the participant at immediate risk of death);
  • requires in patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization;
  • results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity;
  • congenital anomaly/birth defect;
  • other medically important serious event.

The investigator assessed whether each adverse event was possibly related to the study drug.

From the first dose of study drug up until Day 57
Number of Participants With Clinically Relevant Vital Sign or Clinical Laboratory Changes
Time Frame: 57 days
The investigator reviewed vital signs and laboratory test results and determined whether an abnormal value in an individual participant represented a clinically significant change from the participant's baseline values.
57 days
Number of Participants With Anti-evolocumab Antibodies
Time Frame: 57 days
Blood samples were tested using an electrochemiluminescence-based bridging immunoassay to detect antibodies capable of binding to evolocumab.
57 days
Area Under the Effect Curve From Baseline to Day 57 (AUECday1-57) for Low-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C)
Time Frame: 4 hours, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 15, 22, 29, 43, 50 and 57 days postdose
The derived log-transformed AUECday1-57 for direct LDL-C was analyzed using a mixed-effect analysis of variance model. Log-transformed baseline LDL-C was the covariate.
4 hours, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 15, 22, 29, 43, 50 and 57 days postdose
Mean Percent Change From Baseline in Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin Type 9 (PCSK9)
Time Frame: Baseline and 4 hours, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 15, 22, 29, 43, 50 and 57 days postdose

Serum PCSK9 concentrations were determined using a qualified ELISA. The LLOQ of the assay was 15 ng/mL.

Log-transformed baseline PCSK9 was included in the model as a covariate and participant as a random effect.

Baseline and 4 hours, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 15, 22, 29, 43, 50 and 57 days postdose
